Bierstein Blasmusik, now in its fifth year, is a 9-piece authentic German style “Oompah Band”. It is (as far as we know) unique in being the only band of its kind in Cyprus. The musicians are drawn from a variety of different musical backgrounds, and the line up consists of two clarinets, two trumpets, trombone, euphonium, tuba, accordion, and drums. The repertoire is based on typical traditional Bavarian style Oktoberfest music but also encompasses a wider mix of styles and genres, including singalong medleys, instrumental features, and pop covers – to add some variety, but all in an “Oompah” style. The band’s aim is to deliver a high-quality musical performance, whilst providing a good evenings light hearted fun and entertainment for all, including the band! The band members are: George Georgiou (clarinet), Elli Michael (soprano saxophone), Christos Loizides (trumpet), Janet Baker (trumpet), Steve Walkley (trombone), Jim Adair (euphonium), Tom Lisset (tuba), Majiek Kielak (accordion), and David Martin(drums). Presented by Music in the Mountains.

Trimiklini is a picturesque village, surrounded by green orchards, located approximately 27 kilometres northwest of Limassol in the largest valley in Cyprus, at an average altitude of 570 M. The village is bordered on the south by Lania, on the west by Silikou and Kouka, on the north by Moniatis, on the northeast by Pelendri and on the east by Agios Mamas. Trimiklini is famous for its double bridge; the only one in Cyprus. Local residents grow grapes and fruit trees, including nectarines, peaches, plums, and pears here. They have also long been engaged in the production of zivania and wine . Part of the cultural heritage of the village is the building of the primary school, which opened its doors in 1926. Then, it had an enrolment of 49 students. Now it’s community property, restored by the municipal council. Currently, 11 children from the community attend the new district school. The Green Valley waterfall is worth the walk along a narrow path, hidden in the shade of century-old trees. There are several outdoor cafes and restaurants, a fruit market, where you can buy freshly picked fruit and vegetables , and small shops with sweets, including excellent mountain honey , plus two interesting churches dedicated to the Virgin of Mercy.
Music in the Mountains was founded in 2005 by Pam Groves, Mike Groves and Andrew Oliver.
